These fit really snug even with going up a size. I know they are compression leggings but they just seem small all around (the length just hits the top of my ankles). The waistband is good and provides some support for my lower back which is what I bought these in the first place, but aside from being almost uncomfortably tight, there is a lingering rubbery smell to these leggings that washing has not removed. It's realky off-putting and I can't wear them because it triggers a migraine for me. However since I'm stuck with them since I washed them (the smell directly out of the packaging was awful and gross), I'm hoping that with repeated washings it may dissipate so that it's not so pronounced. And I wouldn't put these in the dryer...definitely hang these & air dry them. Also, they have a ribbed pattern to them that you can't see in the photos and it's not something I would wear out of my house. They look like cheap ribbed tights. So if you are looking for a legging that is a flat, solid material (that smells of rubber) then these aren't for you.

As a reference I am 5' 2" and I weigh well under 100 lbs.

Surprisingly, the length of these leggings fit me well, and I made a minor adjustment by folding the fitted bottom of the legs under like a hem. This was the perfect solution and they fit without any extra material bunching around my ankles.

The inseam is perfect, not too high to chafe me and not too low, and they fit without any extra material bunching around my ankles.

These legging are very comfortable, and I love the inside terry lining for some extra warmth during the colder weather.

They are fitted so my legs look slim, rather than the bulky slackness of sweatpants. Therefore dressed up with one of my attractive heavy sweaters along with my high heels, or any length boot, they are suitable to out to a local and casual type of restaurant for dinner. Furthermore, the high waist offers a choice for either a short crop or a longer tunic.

In addition, they have a relaxed fit and the knit material has enough stretch to maintain its shape and they do not restrict my movements or positions and allows freedom to sit, kneel or bend. Even when I'm sitting or kneeling on floor with my younger grandchildren, I have not experienced any bagging at the knees and the leggings still retain their fitted form.

Another positive feature is the fabric of the legging is NOT a lint and hair magnet. I have a long-haired old English Sheepdog and although he sheds and leaves his hair on me, it just takes a few seconds to brush it off, and it doesn't entwine in the legging material.

My only issue was the high waist compression felt binding around my rib cage. However, either the leggings conformed to my body or perhaps I adapted to this different sensation, as I no longer notice any tightness, and I am very comfortable to wear these leggings all day.

Very happy with these leggings! I'm 5'3", 135lb, normally a Medium or size 6, and these fit perfectly. The waist compression begins just below my hips and goes almost up to my bra and it's not too binding, nor does the top roll when I sit, unlike most other high waisted tights/leggings. They are slightly fleece lined which is great for cool temps, I would not recommend for 70s or above. I did notice a little "pilling" where the leggings rubbed against the inside of my boots. RE: colors...I ordered a pair in Charcoal and a pair in Coffee, and they are the exact same color...in fact I'd say the Charcoal is probably more on the brown side. But they look good with brown or black/grey tops, so no issues for me.

Okay. One size is scary, right? I'm 5'8 with a 29 inch waist (almost at 28), and I wear a size 8 in jeans. I always get a medium in everything. Because these were only One Size, I bought them and hoped for the best. I got these on Prime and knew I could return them if I needed to.

Something else that's scary with purchasing leggings online is that you don't know the quality, how thick they are, whether they're comfortable or not. Honestly, I work at an upper-end store where we sell very expensive leggings and I almost, almost, almost recommended that my boss get one of these too (not to sell, but just to wear), which could be a big no-no since we're supposed to wear our own products, but SERIOUSLY. These are AMAZING.

Let me tell you, I do have some flab around my stomach. These go up to an inch under my bust. So they almost meet my standard bra, but not quite. That's perfect, it's what I wanted. However, because of my body shape, there is a slight roll. I have an hour-glass figure, and I'm hoping that the more weight I lose, the less likely the top of this will roll down. I paired it with a crop top and it's SO CUTE.

The reason I even got these leggings was because I saw American Apparel had something very similar and I knew that I could finally put my crop tops to use during the fall and winter with these leggings. There's an outfit idea!

So beside the fact that my chub kind of makes it roll down every once in a while (seriously not a big deal), I ADORE THESE.

I live in a state that gets to freezing, where snow is a promise. These are so thick. Seriously, the wind doesn't get through them. You feel very warm and snuggly in them. They've got a fleece material on the inside. What's also nice about them being so thick is that you don't see any panty lines. I wear them with my crop tops, remember? So if I don't have anything to cover my backside, that'd be kind of bad if you're able to see my panty lines. But you can't see a thing! So thick! Seriously so comfy.

They look exactly as pictured. These are worth every penny. If you have any doubts, disregard them right now. If you live in a state where it gets very cold, you'll need these. The compression top does work too, but not so much that you can't breathe. It makes you feel slender and totally brings out one's physique.

They're very soft and they make you feel like you're wearing lounge wear without feeling under-dressed. I recommend you get these. I seriously do.

UPDATE:
Had given these a good rating 'before' I had worn them but reduced them to 2 stars after wearing them out last night. They were incredibly comfortable, were a perfect fit and looked pretty good (they were thick so you couldn't see thru them) BUT they lost points when both legs started unraveling at the ankles. (And I don't have large ankles that would have stretched them).
Needless to say I was quite disappointed at that happening after only wearing them one time.

Initial review was 4 stars:
Received these today and when I opened the package the waistband looked like it would only fit one leg, BUT surprisingly they fit, were relatively easy to put on and are extremely comfortable, even with the wonderful compression band which I was wanting to have. (I'm 5'3 on a good day and pleasingly plump with a weight of 148 lbs) lol

The biggest problem with it is that it leaves a bit of a bulging gap above the pubic area. (the compression band doesn't go all the way down so if you've had children and have 'that bulge' like I do, then it does not compress that area, unless you fold the waistband over or don't pull the leggings all the way up like you normally would). I will be wearing a long shirt so it won't matter.

These are surprisingly thick so it will be perfect for those colder months. (I ordered the Coffee color and they are a very dark & slenderizing brown)

I haven't worn or washed these yet but will update with a photo when I wear them and let you know if there are any problems, right now I'm looking at ordering others in a variety of colors.
